I love my Job. But some days -like today- I really don't like it very much. I'm sick as can be right now, and I have lost my voice completely!
I'm hoping sooner rather than later, I will learn to care for the kids and discipline them without yelling, but I'm not there yet. I thought that losing my voice could be an opportunity to learn about managing the kids without yelling, and that perhaps this would be a good thing. That was not the case today.
Not being able to yell is all well and good. But I need to be able to speak to them! Not having any ability to just talk and tell them what I wanted and expected of them, made everybody miserable! When I got mad, not being able to vocalize, I found, left me feeling much more angry than I would have otherwise. I think part of that is just the overall frustration of not being able to speak, but I think in the heat of the moment, I do better when I can express my anger, it feels like it disperses the physical feeling of anger.
Cirdan was officially diagnosed with Lyme's disease this evening. He and I took a special trip to the Pharmacy and picked up his prescription, and then went to the grocery store for a stockpile of yogurt. He did a good job with his first dose, and enjoyed the yogurt too. So if I understand correctly he'll be taking this AntiBiotic twice a day for the next thirty days. But the Doctor indicated that it should be a complete cure, and that he won't have any long-term effects. Yay!
